Best-Selling Author Calls Out TikTok Content Thieves

Content theft is a growing problem on social media platforms like TikTok. New York Times best-selling author Jeff Pearlman recently shared his frustration on the platform, stating, "It’s utterly ridiculous." Pearlman’s video highlights the issue of users reposting content without permission. He questions the motivation, stating, "How pathetic are you if you’re copying the TikToks of a middle-aged sportswriter?" This incident underscores the need for stronger copyright protection and awareness among social media users. The ease of content sharing on platforms like TikTok makes it easier for this to happen, but also provides a platform for authors to call attention to the problem and for the public to discuss the issue.
